Deadly Whiskers

Local author Rick Senley has sent us a copy of his ironic take on a Victorian murder mystery, Moustache Man and the Deadly Whiskers.

According to its website, it's 'a tragic tale of one man's descent from a dishy fellow about town to the wretched underbelly of Victorian London' and features gaudy gin palaces, upper-class supper clubs, Chinese opium dens and Newgate Prison. So it's probably right up Pete Doherty's street.

Watch this space to find what we think. In the meantime you can read an excerpt or order a copy on the Moustache Man website and help prevent a similarly tragic downfall on Rick's part.
